Chapter 8: found out!
Earney's face goes completely blank but you can kind of see the mix of terror/surprise in his eyes. As soon as he does I break apart from Joes lip and curl up in his arms just waiting to see what Earney's reaction is. Earney then shows some form of life by slowly breathing in and out. I hope it's a good sign. Joe then reassures me "Everything is going to be fine." He whispers, I look into his eyes, nod and look back to Earney.
Earney still in a state of shock then takes a step and another towards us then about half a metre away from the bed. He says "I knew you two were getting close but-" You can see a thought occurs to him "Never mind we are in the capitol… get ready… and put some clothes on.
Joe then expels his breath as though he had been holding it the whole time. "That was close." He comments. "Yeah" I respond. How much have we come in the past day? First I was thinking that I didn't even want to know anything about him but now? I think actually I might love him I can't be sure but I felt something. Something new.
We then both get back into our clothes. Smirking at Earney's first impression on the whole thing. We start to walk to the door that leads us out of the train, Joes arm around me. Earney then pulls us towards him for a little chat. He whispers "ok, so what is your game plan?" (Silence) "Guys how are you going to win the crowd over?" I then butt in. "Well? Isn't it obvious?" Earney then smiles then tells us "Well good luck and may the odds he ever in your favour, you two lovers."
Then we walk over to the doors. While waiting for them to open Joe says "Are you fully ok with our love being out in public?" I respond "Of course." The doors open and we walk out while the press take pictures.
Joe then stops me still in his arm. We turn to each other then he kisses me in front of all of Panem. Great my dad will probably see this. And the press goes absolutely wild.
